See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

Day 22: Become Tourists In Our Own Town
A couple of years after we moved to Iowa, we hosted some out-of-town guests who had never been here before. I asked local friends what they considered the “must-see” destinations here in our own metro area and was surprised how many I hadn’t yet visited.
Fast-forward another decade, and I’m *still* surprised at the local gems I have yet to explore!
Today we visited one such place that has been on my radar for years: The Salisbury House. The history, architecture, and beauty that surrounds this place floored me; what I loved even more (aside from the book collection) was learning about the family that lived here so many years ago. And actually, a big part of what made that so enthralling was the enthusiasm and knowledge of the guides. They love The Salisbury House, and it shows! Encountering people who truly enjoy and find value in their work is such a day-brightener.
We visited a few other local hotspots today and topped off our touring with a meal at Zombie Burger…because that’s just how we roll! 🙂
